I strongly recommend to do this tour if you are looking for a very interesting and physically demanding tour outside the huge number of travelers that are taking the better known but much easier Inca Trail . On the tour through different climate conditions and vegetation you learn about the big differences in the landscape and temperatures. As you hike more than 20 kilometers a day and reach altitudes up to 4600 meters it is really a big adventure even for experienced hikers. The tour guide as well as all support persons like cooks and horsemen are very professional and helpful at any time.
